TamagawaIce breaker 無濾過生原酒

I've been avoiding drinking it because it's always available at the liquor store I frequent, but finally I got my first icebreaker! It tastes great on the rocks, but it's also great straight up. It's refreshing and easy to drink! Slightly melon-like fruity flavor. It's so good!

The first thing that catches your eye the moment you pour it into a glass is its color. It is a beautiful golden color, almost like amber. This color is truly surprising for a freshly brewed sake, not an aged sake. One sip and a rich, mild sweetness reminiscent of molasses, dried persimmons, or ripe dried fruits spreads out slowly. However, the aftertaste is not unpleasant, and it has a sharpness that seems to disappear without a trace. The gap between the two was impressive. Behind the sweetness, there is a firm acidity and umami, which tightens the overall flavor. In fact, this sake is a modern reproduction based on a production method described in the encyclopedia "Wakan sansai zue," an encyclopedia of the Edo period. The sake is made without yeast, lactic acid bacteria, or other additives, and the koji (malted rice) brewing process takes a whopping 72 hours, while the nama-moto (sake mother) brewing process takes nearly a month. With less brewing water, the hard, heavy mash is fermented slowly over a period of two months. It takes a lot of time and effort to even press the sake. Moreover, the only English toji in Japan, Philip Harper, took on this challenge. The fact that he seriously tried to recreate a 300-year-old recipe and ended up with a magical sake that tastes sweet but has a sharp kick... This is a bottle that makes you love the whole background of the sake.

It is light and refreshing on the palate, but not at all dull in the way that is typical of nama sake. It was my first time to try Ice Breaker, and it was a perfect summer sake, so I was right to buy it.

Tamagawa Sake Brewery that I visited on my trip to Kyoto It's not easy to find Tamagawa, so let's try this one! Meow? What came out was a label of a cat. It was a traditional sake with a slightly raw color! It's so crisp and clean! I heard they support cat sheltering activities. I heard they also have Junmai Ginjo! This sake brewery also brews Ice Breaker! I'll keep an eye on it. knowledge of the brewery's business Rice: Unknown Rice polishing ratio: 66 Alcohol content: 15%. Sake degree: Undisclosed Acidity: Undisclosed

Today is a day trip, but the Kyoto station area is expensive and dis💢. Come back to the store in Shijo-Karasuma 😄. It was hot during the day, so here it is on the rocks 😆. Yummmm, too delicious. Great with fresh fish sashimi 😆 Costa is so high! ✘Bamboo shoot sashimi ✘Fresh fish sashimi

Tamagawa's sake 🍶 is brewed by Philip Harper, a British toji from 🇬🇧. Among them, I was curious about the Ice Breaker 🧊🐧 that I had missed drinking since last year...because it was hot during the day...and I opened it by accident 😓 lol! When you open the bottle, you can feel the alcohol of sake feeling firmly 🤔. And if you pour it into a wine glass with ice 🧊 as the description says, you get an even darker sake feeling 😎. The dryness you feel from the first sip is solid, but combined with a moderate sweetness, it's a great sake to drink as a food sake ✨. The dryness of this sake makes it easy to enjoy even with strong flavors such as yakiniku🥩 and yakitori🐔. I didn't feel much of a piquancy 😅 despite the fact that it's a draft sake. However, if you like fruity sake, this sake might be a bit peculiar and hard to drink 😓... 😓. If you usually prefer dry beer 🍺, you might like it ❓❓ All in all... a summer sake for sake lovers: ❗️ Day 2: 🗒️ No big taste change 🤔. As the ice melts and the alcohol taste fades, it tastes strangely like the sweetness also increases🙂‍↕️

☀️ It has a dark sweet taste with a lingering aftertaste that slowly spreads to the palate 😚. Nice thick finish 🤩. I think I smelled the slightest hint of cedar🌲 in the aftertaste... or not .........🤔 It was a glass, so it wasn't the smell of the vessel, but maybe I'm imagining it 🙄.

I was curious about the Tamagawa Ice Breaker🧊💖 I found it! It was accompanied by a comment😋 from Mr. Phillip, the toji, that you should float the ice on it and enjoy the wind chime-like sound and the rich changes that the ice shows as it melts! I thought 🤨 that it must not be too sweet since it was in Kyoto, so today we started the feast with boiled fish, somen noodles, snap pea and maitake mushroom tempura, and egg tofu 🎉! Penguin, it's not sweet! No sourness either! The aroma is of rice, and maybe a hint of bitterness? Astringent? The aroma lingers in the nostrils, reminding me of gin (I don't know much about gin 🤫). As the ice melts and the alcohol fades, a slight sweetness emerges 💕. I've had it with boiled fish, and tempura in tempura sauce. It really goes well together ‼️ I'm crying tears of joy 🥹🥺 because I feel like I haven't had a pairing in a long time. Our house, so far, is mostly hors d'oeuvres, so we had a little grilled meat after this 🤣It also goes well with meat👍. I have a feeling I'm going to be addicted this summer 🥰. Impressions on the alcohol by itself are in charge of shinsaku3💕.
